P&ID (chemical eng)

Native process & instrumentation diagrams for chemical engineering. Declare equipment (vessel, reactor, heat-exchanger, pump, compressor, tank, column, separator), instruments (gauges + control loops in ISA-5.1-style balloons), and piping connections between them. Supports stream tags, valves (gate, ball, check, control), and tagged process variables (PV, FV, LV, TV).
